After panel interview sessions, nerves were abound as panelists deliberated on whether or not candidates should move on to the final stage of the Endeavor selection process, the International Selection Panel – the next one will be in Manilla, Philipines in April 2018.

In order to get through, entrepreneurs must gain unanimous votes from panelists. When votes differ (e.g. 3 yes’s and 1 no), the dissenting or assenting panelist must try to sway other panelists’ votes. If at the second round of voting panelists still disagree, then the entrepreneur does not get through.

Becoming an Endeavor Entrepreneur is tough, but as Endeavor Malaysia’s MD Anand Krishnan puts it, “If they get through, we throw a ton of resources behind them to help them grow at an accelerated rate.”
